marijuana cures my anxiety/depression

[hihigh]

err am i the only one here who considers this a bad thing?

this is exactly how you abuse marijuana. by using it to avoid your problems.

you shouldnt feel like u need mj just to get through the day.

I see what you are saying, and believe me i have thought about it and at least in my situation, this isn't the case. I normally just get depressed over things that aren't worth dwelling on, you know? Problem is i dwell on them, and always make them out to be worse then they actually are. When i smoke marijuana, i think about this stuff in my head, suddenly i rationalize it and realize it's not nearly as bad as i thought it was at the time.

Whenever I toke up all of that goes away. I become more sociable, don't dwell on things, and in my opinion, perform better in life because of that. I also get down on life sometimes, nothing really major, but just feeling depressed every once in a while. Could be because all my best friends go to another school, and I don't have a girl but when I smoke, it just helps me forget Rating: 5

You know, I have a similar problem as you... I found out I had Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) which gave me a type of depression... it really sucked, I'd get depressed over nothing, but smoking helped take my mind off things too...

If you're the kind of person who can stand to research stuff, here's a couple links of crap that helped me. Just skim it over and see if the effects fit you:

If that doesn't help... good luck man, I found out how I could make myself happier, I'm sure you can too. And keep smokin Good for the soul

yeh i know what your talking about. i stress over small things way too much. smoking does help me analyze sitations better, but usually when the high dies down, the anxiety returns.

what the hell are you talking about?, weed doesnt cure your problems, it just blocks them out, as soon as you sober up your problems are still there. Dont abuse the herb, use it as a tool not like a junkie to keep reality away.

actually no i didnt read most of the posts because its all kids saying they smoke weed and it fixes all there problems right up, but its true weed doesnt CURE anything, as soon as all your weeds gone its back to reality. this is whats called dependance, if you cant stop smoking weed for a week, your dependent on it and have no self control and thus give all the rest of us stoners a bad name, but im done ive argued over this too many times

time for a bowl

peace
